Likely 10 DIE.

Mrs. McGee, Who Was SO Brutally beaten
BY Her Husband, in n Dangerous Con-
dition.
Last Friday evening. at o'clock, John
McGee went to his home on the levee in a
drunken condition and began to quarrel
with his wife. He knocked her down and
beat her shamefully, and not satisfied with
that, the brute began to kick her with his
heavy boots as she lay helpless on the floor.
One specially vicious kick broke the poor
woman's left leg between the knee and
ankle. The wretch soon realized what a
monstrous act he had committed and fed to
avoid arrest. DIR. Miranda was called and
set the broken limb, and made the woman
as comfortable as ne could.
Ever since she was injured Mrs. McGee
has been growing worse. and this morning
was lying at the point of death. She may
recover. but her death is not at all un-
likely.
This morning Chief Walker and Officer
Norton made thorough search of the levee
for McGee, but failed 10 apprehend him.
1t was at first supposed that he had left
town, but the police got trace him in the
city and are now sure that he is still here.
They heard Of him in several places but ar
rived at each place just after he had gone.
The officers have hopes of capturing him,
and when he is once behind the bars il will
be some time before he gets another Oppor-
tunity to abuse his wife.
